Why MartEye Studio Doesn’t Need a Local Server

At MartEye, we’ve worked closely with livestock markets across the UK and Ireland to understand the real-world challenges of running sales day in and day out. One question we hear often is: “Where is the server?” Or even more pointedly: “Will we still need to run a local one?”

The short answer: No — MartEye Studio doesn’t require a local server. Here’s why, and how it all works.

The Old Way: Local Servers and On-Site Setups

Traditionally, auction markets relied on software that had to be installed and maintained locally. That meant:

• 🖥️ Dedicated machines and on-site servers.
• 🔌 Complex wiring and backup systems.
• 🔄 Manual syncing of sale-day data to the cloud.
• 💸 Ongoing hardware costs and IT maintenance.

These systems were robust — but rigid. They often created bottlenecks during setup, troubleshooting, or scaling to new teams or devices.

The Studio Way: Lightweight, Browser-Based, Real-Time

MartEye Studio is a modern, cloud-hosted SaaS platform. It runs entirely in your browser and syncs live with our secure servers. That means:

• No servers to install.
• No syncing required.
• No maintenance headaches.

All you need is a web connection and a login.

What Powers It All?

Let’s break it down technically:

1. Secure Hosting

Studio is hosted on scalable cloud infrastructure (we use industry-standard providers like AWS). That means:

• 99.9% uptime.
• Fully encrypted data at rest and in transit.
• Automatic backups and failovers.

2. Real-Time Sync

Studio uses websocket technology and event-driven APIs. This lets every device connected to a sale see updates in real time — whether you’re on the rostrum, in the office, or on the yard with the mobile app.

3. Offline Resilience

What if you go offline briefly?

• The mobile app caches data locally and queues actions to sync once a connection returns.
• Our browser tools are built with progressive fallback logic — ensuring no data loss even during weak signal events.

Why It Matters

This serverless setup isn’t just about modern architecture — it has real benefits for your market:

✅ No IT Costs — No server racks, no network switches, no local hardware to maintain.

✅ Onboarding in Minutes — A new user? Just send them a login link — they’re in.

✅ Work from Anywhere — Whether you’re at the mart, at home, or at a show, you have full access.

✅ Fast Support & Updates — We can push improvements, fixes, and new features instantly — no downloads needed.

Closing Thought

When we say “No servers, no stress,” we mean it. MartEye Studio is built for livestock markets who want modern tools without the tech burden. It’s fast, reliable, and designed to help you focus on the sale — not the system.

If you’re still running your auction from a server in the corner, we’d love to show you another way.
